HD-DVD updates are in .iso format. You must use image burning software to correctly burn the update to CD. Nero has proven to be one of the best and easiest.

just updated my a-3.....got the upgrade cd saturday.

I've been debating but since there will be no future tech advances that would require upgrades I figured if it ain't broke don't fix it, may brick it. I have never had a problem with any disk HD or SD. I'm using 1.3

Goodbye to the war zone. I see it was quietly removed.

I kept my A35 at 1.3 since Toshiba introduced Jaggies for users using 1080p/24 with 2.0 and it wasn't corrected with 3.0.

It was easy thru network - 20 mins and got upgrated from v2.8 to v3.0.

Well, the 3rd gen players had major compatibility issues.

For the A30/A35, it's debatable whether to upgrade. 1080p60 never worked properly for these players and unlikely never will. 1080p24 works w/ VC1 and mpeg2?, but not so well with AVC as of firmware update 2.0.

For the A3, why the heck not? There are quite a few discs that don't behave well with firmware 1.3 (e.g., Enemeny at the Gates), but work with firmware 3.0.
